Built under president Antonio Guzman Blanco, the Capitol consists of a building finished in 1873 (the Legislative Palace) and in 1877 (the Federal Palace). The whole building complex is now the home of the Legislative Power. According to the Constitution that was approved in December 1999, the Legislative Power is now called National Assembly, and not National Congress as it was before. Important paintings by Caracas native Martin Tovar y Tovar, the great fountain on the beautiful grounds and a stop at the Elliptic Hall are some of the enduring memories that the visitor takes with him after visiting the Capitolio.
